Kaushik Da, along with Jibran bhai I am also keeping them for some time, so adding my experience - Jibran also will share his one-

1. Foods - Not so much of a fussy eater mine are raised on NLS and Jib's are on Hikari Gold(if I am not wrong). I feed them soaked and little crushed NLS pellets so that they can eat easily. When I have got mine they were smaller in size so till date I follow the same procedure and they appreciate it a lot. Feeding daily twice a day.

2. Maintenance - A good filter with weekly 30-40% water change for me.

3. Decorations - Mine tank contains some rocks which I will remove later on because its not their primary requirement because they require quite a lot of free swimming space. And when they swim in a group it looks awesome :)

One thing about this fish would like to say that it requires patience and time to reach the desired level of coloration and finnage that we expect from Cypris, so any one interested in these should have patience :)
